STD Testing and Sexual Education in Flagstaff, AZ

Arizona state law does not require education pertaining to STI’s and HIV/AIDS. Local school officials decide whether to implement sexual education. If sexual health education is taught, abstinence must be the focal point. If a school decides to discuss HIV, their curriculum must be medically accurate. A child must have their parent’s permission to take any form of sexual health class.

An organization called Advocates for Arizona is pushing for sexual health education in all schools. Their primary stance is that young people that were either born in, or after the 80’s are the first generation to live in a world where AIDS is a common topic of discussion. They also believe that it does not need to be something to fear so long as it is discussed and handled properly.

Planned Parenthood is also fiercely active in the fight for a more prominent sexual health education program within the state. The University of Arizona has been working closely with Planned Parenthood to empower the community with knowledge pertaining to sexual health.

Within the university there are several health promotion programs. One such program is the Condom Club which offers 30 free condoms a semester to students. They also offer STI testing on campus as well as information pertaining the prevention and treatment of STI’s and HIV/AIDS.

On their website, the University of Arizona also offers basic information about sexual health and well-being as well as other websites they recommend for more in-depth information. They break their information up into sections, which is helpful if an individual is looking for specific answers. Finally, they offer recommendations outside of the university for those who are not students or who live further away.
